Chapter 1785: Weakest Defense

Late at night, the Warner residence.

Silence enveloped the boundless darkness, the mansion'ssurroundings empty and exceptionally quiet. The sound of the windrustling could be distinctly heard.

Joyce was not present, Darrin was also absent, and most of the guardshad been withdrawn. Now was the time when the Warner residencewas least prepared. Little did anyone know that danger wasapproaching.

Cloud silently led a team of black-clad individuals into the Warnerresidence.

After Athena was forced to leave the abandoned school, on her way toreceive treatment for her gunshot wound, she urgently ordered them tocapture Anderson as a hostage. And now was the perfect opportunity.Cloud effortlessly subdued the guards at the entrance and made hisway into the grand hall.

The first person to sense that something was amiss was Mr. Arnold.Without even having time to put on his coat, he rushed out of his roomand came face to face with the intruder.

A figure tall and imposing, with long hair billowing in the wind, exuding adark aura.

Mr. Arnold stammered in fear, "Who... who are you?"

Oh no, the Commander is not at home, and Darrin is not here either.Now, only the young master is home! Could their objective be tocapture the young master?

Cloud didn't even spare a glance at Mr. Arnold. He strode forward andlightly struck him, rendering Mr. Arnold unconscious.

Mr. Arnold's body went limp and fell to the ground, motionless.

Cloud signaled to the black-clad individuals behind him. "Stay here. I'llgo replace Anderson."

"Yes," the black-clad individuals responded.

Cloud, with cautious steps, made his way upstairs and reached thesecond floor. One room's door was closed, while the doors of the otherrooms were open. He deduced that the closed door must lead toAnderson's room.

Without hesitation, he approached the door.

With a loud bang, he kicked the door open.

Anderson, awakened by the loud noise, jolted up from the bed,suddenly awakened from what seemed like a nightmare. His body wasdrenched in cold sweat.

In front of the door stood a dark figure, illuminating his features underthe sensor lights. Despite his somewhat scholarly appearance, his aurawas shrouded in darkness.

Anderson's heart raced. He recognized this man!

"Are you in cahoots with Athena?" he asked.

“Little brother, you have a good memory," Cloud sneered.

He threw his coat at Anderson and said, "You have one minute tochange your clothes. Come with me."

In nicer terms, it could be called leaving, but in harsher terms, it waskidnapping.

Anderson clenched his fists tightly. His instinctive reaction was to pressthe emergency call device on the bedside. This device was connectedto his mommy's phone and other electronic devices. His mommy wouldimmediately know that he was in danger.

Cloud noticed Anderson's actions and sneered, "Don't bother. Do youthink I would take the risk of barging into your house and taking youaway without confidence? Your mother is seriously injured andreceiving treatment at the hospital. She can't come to save you.""What!" Anderson suddenly grew anxious. "My mommy is seriouslyinjured? What have you done to her?"

Then, he calmed down. "No, it's impossible. You're lying. My mommyhas Daddy and Uncle Darrin with her. Nothing can happen to her." Hevaguely knew that his mommy had gone to save his little sister tonight,and Daddy must have gone with her. They must have encounteredsome difficulties.

Cloud, growing impatient, approached and lifted Anderson up."Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Anderson kicked his legs in the air. "My sister must have been rescued,right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be desperate enough to come andcapture me!"

Cloud glanced at Anderson. "You're quite intelligent, kid. Unfortunately,it's of no use. You're already in my grasp. Don't waste time. I won'tharm the child. Come with me."

Saying that, Cloud carried Anderson out of the room and down thestairs.

Anderson caught sight of Mr. Arnold lying on the ground not far away.He deduced that the guards inside the villa must have been subdued.He was actually quite frightened because he had a deep fear ofAthena. His memories of being kidnapped were vivid. If he fell intoAthena's hands again, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Most importantly, he didn't want to burden his mommy and daddyanymore.

They had gone through so much, and they were finally about to reunitewith his little sister. If he were to be kidnapped again at this moment, hecould almost imagine his mommy's despair.

In a moment of panic, his rationality prevailed.

Anderson suddenly had an idea. He looked at his legs and said, "Youwoke me up in the middleof the night, can you at least let me use thebathroom? I'm about to pee my pants!"

Although Cloud was cautious, he believed that Anderson was already inhis grasp, and he couldn't possibly turn the tables.

He put down Anderson and said, "Go ahead."

Anderson quickly grabbed the mini smart remote control in thebathroom. Usually, when he was bored in the bathroom, he liked to playaround with the remote control. Later on, he decided to implant manyself-made programs. It could control the entire smart system in thehouse, turning on lights or air conditioning with just a thought.

He pried open the remote control and pressed one of the hiddenbuttons.

It was something he had tinkered with before, but he didn't expect it tocome in handy now. As a series of beeps sounded...

Suddenly, all the emergency sprinkler heads in the entire house weretriggered.

Water gushed down from the ceiling in torrents, instantly drenching theblack-clad individuals in the living room.

Following that, the lights throughout the house flickered on and off,alternating.

Any passing vehicles could tell that this was a distress signal.

Cloud muttered under his breath, "Damn it!"
